The ground was covered in blood, and the strong smell of snakes filled my nostrils. My heart churned. Watching someone die right before my eyes, my legs trembled, and I was terrified.
My panic wasn't just because of Liu Yun's death; what was even more terrifying was that the plot was completely different from what I expected. Someone who was supposed to live to the end just died like that? Actually, I should have known.
"Tsk tsk tsk, You Jun is really ruthless. He can kill his own wife without batting an eye. He's truly heartless." Liu Yun's death had no effect on Liu Lieyu whatsoever, as if the deceased was just an insignificant passerby.
"How can I compare to your venomous heart, Emperor Donghuang?" You sneered.
The heavenly beings had gathered and surrounded Liu Lieyu and me in a circle, three layers deep, making it impossible to escape even if we had wings.
Liu Lieyu ignored the group of celestial beings, instead lowering his head and smiling as he whispered in my ear, "Xin'er, it seems I can't escape today. But having you by my side before I die is wonderful! We can be a pair of star-crossed lovers." As he spoke, Liu Lieyu's hand touched the back of my neck, and a chilling aura emanated from there, causing my body to tremble slightly.
Holy crap! Is Liu Lieyu serious? I don't want to die! Even if we have to be doomed lovers, I want to be with You! Who wants to be lovers with a pervert like you?
"What? Scared?" Liu Lieyu's devilish whisper rang in my ear again.
Seeing this, You's beautiful and elegant face became tense, and the people around her tried to hide themselves, not daring to breathe.
"Liu Lieyu, I warn you, if you don't release Xin'er, I will grind you to dust." You said each word slowly and deliberately, his dark eyes filled with a murderous look.
"Oh, you're angry now? You don't even call me Donghuang anymore. Back then, I appointed you as my deputy and married my own sister to you. You were so obedient back then." Liu Lieyu's leisurely expression suddenly shifted as he looked at me. "Too bad, you're just like my Xin'er, an ungrateful dog." As he spoke, Liu Lieyu's hand gripped my neck. His previously calm face now held a hint of madness and murderous intent in his eyes.
Damn it! How did this get dragged into me again? This Liu Lieyu is shameless, saying we betrayed him. Saying we're ungrateful, when he's clearly the one with the wolfish ambition. He only bullied You because she hadn't regained her memories of her past life. You was your own brother in your past life, and you still killed him to seize power.
I glared at Liu Lieyu and forced out the three words I'd been holding back for so long, "Shameless!"
Liu Lieyu was slightly taken aback, and then lowered his hand from my neck.
You was probably trying to sneak up on me while Liu Lieyu was looking down at me. I didn't see it, but Liu Lieyu sensed it. He said coldly, "If You dare to take a step forward, I will kill her."
I... I'll punish myself with a drink for my recklessness. I was hoping to seize the opportunity to capture Liu Lieyu, but now I'm a hostage. Why is my fighting ability so weak?! Why am I such a loser?!
I can't let Liu Lieyu catch me and take me back. I need to think of a way to use my brain. Although I can't fight him head-on, I can still sneak up and escape while he's in a bad mood. As long as I can run ten steps away, You will definitely be able to rescue me.
A terrible idea popped into my head: let's give it a try.
I composed myself and sneered, "Liu Lieyu, look at you now, you're really pathetic. Do you still have even a trace of the former Donghuang's appearance?"
